There aren't any amenities outside security either is the most lol part of kull"s continuing defense of our trash airport.

Not to belabor the point but here is some interesting reading on Yelp regarding what the outside world thinks of KCI. There are a few 5 star ratings (very few and mostly from Kansas Citians) but the overwhelming response is 1 and 2 stars. Actually, having so many outsiders give awful reviews of the place makes me a bit sad and kind of makes me want to defend KCI. But unfortunately, they are right.

Because we have inexperienced staff and developer. Their problem was over promising due to not knowing how difficult this is to get going (in my opinion) Hell the city manager promised this would be done in 2021 originally.

3 council members have approached AECOM and Burns and MAC for their updated numbers on a new terminal.

How can we expect Edgemoor and the airlines to continue progress if we,the city, act like this?
We want Edgemoor to continue to work at their own risk yet we also approach outside firms - letting Edgemoor know that they could be replaced and left unpaid.
We want the airlines to quickly make decisions and to approve this project. Yet, the city is openly taking steps to reset the entire project.

At yesterday’s meeting, Loar got on Jermaine for speaking to airline reps. A hypocrite, she was also talking to other airports and developers/gc’s. She needs to be repealed and replaced

^ Seems to me not a bad thing to see alternatives and then push Edgemoor to produce a better product and speed up work. They better get busy or they will lose this contract. Just getting the bid and skating isn’t going to get it done.

There shouldn't even be questions about the developers at this point. Seems like the city is trying to make this as needlessly difficult and complicated a process as possible. Doing junk like this isn't going to convince any party to work harder, it's just going to make everyone panic.

Why would the Edgemoor team continue to sink millions more (at their own risk) into a project/city that continues to delay and potentially even cancel the project. The Burns and Mac team can not even provide an accurate price at this point. They have not participated in any of the design process or program validation that has been taking place between Edgemoor/KC/Airlines.

City: As airlines wrestle with deal, there's now no timeline for KCI work

The waiting game continues for progress on the $1.6 billion overhaul of Kansas City International Airport after a meeting Thursday where airport representatives couldn’t offer an updated timeline for the completion of an agreement between the airlines on how to split the cost of the project.

Aviation Director Pat Klein said the decision now is with the airlines, who are bringing or planning to bring the negotiated terms to their boards or CEOs, who will make the final call on whether the airlines sign on to the project. That agreement is necessary before work can begin.
